Garlicky Quinoa Covered Shrimp

With a new house comes a new commute. While I love our new space, I do not love the traffic. So, I’ve decided to take public transportation and walk home when possible. It’s a 4 mile trek, and I won’t be able to do it all the time, but it has been refreshing when I am able to do it!

This also means I have less time at home to make dinner, and this turned out to be a quick and simple meal to whip together. Again, thanks to The Beginner Cookbook for the inspiration for the full meal. I served these shrimp with the garlic parmesan roasted carrots I last posted. A quick and simple post for a fast weeknight healthy plate.

Ingredients:

3/4 pound of raw shrimp

1 cup quinoa

1 1/4 cup of chicken stock

Fresh ground pepper

1 clove garlic – minced

A Pinch of crushed red pepper

Steps and Notes:

Bring the stock to a boil.

Add ground pepper and the quinoa, reduce to low, and cook until tender.
